LibriVox recording of WIT AND WISDOM OF CHESTERTON, by Gilbert K. Chesterton This little volume, issued as a gift book for lovers of Mr. Chesterton's writings in 1911, is made up from essays to be found in "The Defandant", "Varied Types" and "Tremendous Trifles". These 12 pieces were chosen to giving a peek into the margins of Chesterton's work and give a sense of the distinctive flavor of his mind. They were also chosen with an eye to showing what a complex and fascinating character he was.

Reviewer: Timothy Ferguson - - February 13, 2015
Subject: Strangely, not sharp or witty.

This is a collection of essays by a Victorian humourist. I found they didn’t quite hit the mark for me, and would be difficult to recommend.

The recording is good...perhaps I'm not suited to the material?
